De-Stress Fest at CCM to Address the Eight Dimensions of Wellness

According to the World Health Organization, an estimated one in four people suffer from a mental illness, yet many fail to get adequate treatment.

To help eradicate the stigma of mental illness, County College of Morris (CCM) will be holding its first annual De-Stress Fest, mental health fair, on Tuesday, October 4, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on its Randolph campus in the Student Community Center. The event is free and open to the public.

The De-Stress Fest will examine the eight dimensions of wellness – emotional, financial, spiritual, occupational, physical, intellectual, social and environmental – with an extensive program of events. The festival also fulfills a statewide initiative to address the issues surrounding mental health. The day’s events include:

Scavenger Hunt: Find out about the eight dimensions of wellness, 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. and
